Must haves for me are:
0W-40 full synthetic oil (quieter, smoother).
3M matte black vinyl for airbag cover (to hide fingerprints).
Radio decals to cover worn buttons.
Anything but the stock Pop and Sport hubcaps.
Map lights and rear cargo light swap to LEDs.
Trunk close strap upgrade to leather.
Felt cargo liner removal (only do this IF you want a better exhaust note).
Adapter that plugs into AUX port to give you Bluetooth audio streaming for phones that don't have headphone jacks.
K&N air filter, gave us a 10 mpg city and highway increase and an intake growl (maybe because the old filter was going on 48k and sooty???Cars:
2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE
2014 FIAT 500 Pop Automatic
Mods: Stock... painfully, stock.👍 1- Top

I got a DNA transmission mount in yesterday and got it installed today. I bought one with the street bushings. I've been on vacation for two weeks so it's hard to say how the car feels different. I'm done on mods until something new comes out.- Top
